This isn't the Hitchcock song, it was written by Leon Payne and covered by Elvis Costello, Jack Kittel, Eddie Noack and Neil Gaiman. I like them all, may prefer Eddie's.

In the intro and later in the main verses, the Bm chord is altered by playing
a Bm/A (Lift your finger off the A string...)
D A D
Can Mary fry some fish, mama
Bm
I'm as hungry as can be
D A D
Oh lord, how I wish, mama
Bm
You could stop the baby cryin'
A D
'Cause my head is killing me
I saw my ex again last night mama
She was at the dance at Miller's store
She was with that Jackie White mama
I killed them both
And they're buried under Jacob's sycamore
(Hold D) Bm (Bm/A)
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
D
I didn't mean to break your cup
Bm
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
A D
You better let 'em lock me up
Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama
As I might squeeze him too tight
I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama
So let me tell you 'bout last night
I woke up in Johnny's room mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat mama
Wishing both of us were dead
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I just killed Johnny's pup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
You'd better let 'em lock me up
Oh you recall that little girl mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama
'Cause I just saw her in the park
We were sitting on a bench mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench mama
Then my mind just walked away
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
Mama why don't you get up?

H'ween - Creepy Doll
A nice and creepy song for ya to prepare for the season that is in it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVtR7azLVcI&feature=related
(Am) (E) (C)
In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
(D)
There's a house where no one lives
(F/C) (C) (D) (E)
So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it
(Am) (E)
Then at night when the house is dark
(C) (D)
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs
(F/C) (C) (D) (E)
At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door
F/C C D E
There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am Fmaj7add11/C
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
Verse 2
Am E
So you scream and you close the door
C D
And you tell yourself it was just a dream
F/C C D E
In the morning you head into town cause you want to go antiquing
Am E
In the store there's a strange old man
C D
With a wandering eye and a withered hand
F/C C D E
When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see
F/C C D E
That someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
Bridge
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And when you come home late the doll is waiting up for you
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too
F/C G F/C G
The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed
F/C G F/C G C
The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy
|F/C |D7 |F/C |
Verse 3
Am E
Now it's late and you head downstairs
C D
Cause you just can't sleep so you make some tea
F/C C D E
And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey
Am E
You decide that you've had enough
C D
And you lock the doll in the wooden box
F/C C D E
You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money
F/C ) C Bm7b5 Am
As the smoke fills up your tiny room there's nothing you can do
F/C C D E
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am Fmaj7add11/C
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole

Where everybody knows your name. (Cheers Theme)
This is the whole song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMNVNRybluQ&feature=related
Alternate G and D for first 4 lines of each verse.
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Dm6 (4210) E7 Am D7
Wouldn't you like to get away
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by its tail
Dm6 (4210) E7 Am D7 C
And your third fiancée didn't show
C G
Sometimes you want to go
F C D
Where everybody knows your name
G F C D
And they're always glad you came
Bm C
You want to be where you can see
Bm C
Our troubles are all the same
Bm C D G D G D
You want to be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Alternate G and D for first 4 lines of each verse.

I can tell that we are going to be friends
Lovely little song by the White Stripes and covered by Jack Johnson.
As a strum, I suggest tap the uke, then chord, so TAP C TAP C TAP C etc.
C fall is here hear the yell back to school ring the bell F C brand new shoes walkin blues climb the fence books and pens G F C i can tell that we are gonna be friends (x2) Walk with me,Suzy Lee through the park and by the tree we will rest upon the ground and look at all the bugs we found then safely walk to school without a sound Well here we are,no one else we walked to school all by ourselves there's dirt on our uniforms from chasing all the ants and worms we clean up and now its time to learn Numbers,letters,learn to spell nouns,and books,and show and tell at playtime we will throw the ball back to class,through the hall teacher marks our height against the wall F C And we don't notice any time pass F C we don't notice anything D we sit side by side in every class F teacher thinks that I sound funny G but she likes the way you sing Tonight I'll dream while in my bed when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphabet and when I wake tommorow I'll bet that you and I will walk together again cause I can tell that we're going to be friends
